The Four of Greechan, Greechan, Kivlin and Le Long took the early lead against the JBC four of MacDonald, Nixon, Le Falher and Thomas. The JBC four battled hard to be 4 behind but the St Saviours four maintained their lead to be crowned the champions.

The team of Rive, Hogetts and Boswell looked to retain their title and started the game well. The Sun triple battled hard but the JBC triple powered ahead to take the title and remain champions.

Le Falher took the early lead with Douglas making a good come back to be 15-18 down. Le Falher maintained the lead and was crowned the champion

Session 3 and 4 ended Saturdays games in style.

A tough battle of JBC and St Saviours end for end saw Simon take the lead and then crowned champion.

The triple of Greechan, Greechan and Kivlin took an early lead against Archibald, Douglas and Thomas. 3 ends saw Greechan convert JBC’s potential lead to reduce them to crowning Saviours as Champions

Kaleta and Greechan battled end for end until 13-10 with Kaleta taking the lead. Greechan game down turned Kaletas bowl to hold 1, with Kaleta moving the jack to the rink marker and winning the game after the measure.

Kivlin and Le Long took the early lead against Nixon and Le Falher. With the game 11-9 to JBC, 1 end got St Saviours in front. 2 down with the last end to come JBC held the extra end. Kivlin managed to convert the head to 1 and St Saviours were crowned Champions.

Great support from all clubs and thank you to the Sun Bowls Club for keeping the players and spectators fed and watered.
